About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Lorentz Mercury combines closely spaced horizontal ribbing with broad vertical bands that break into staggered rectangular sections. The shade sits between graphite grey and muted brown taupe, with subtle tonal shifts where the ribbed surface catches the light. Its structured geometry reads smart and tailored rather than decorative or ornate. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-taupe colourway on a clean-lined armchair, headboard or sofa, pairing it with warm timber and softly contrasting stone or oatmeal tones. The interrupted vertical pattern adds measured rhythm without introducing a bright accent.

A structured, cool-toned woven design for tailored upholstery with understated architectural rhythm.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lorentz Mercury without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
